A nice poem of reaching a spiritual oasis in the wilderness all around us. God is good and gives rest along the way as well as a Wonderful Companion who is the Way.

Oh, I love Terza Rima! Those interlocking rhymes sound so musical, love reading them out loud.

A stellar contest entry with some great imagery and the love of nature. Vivid visuals which transcended me to a different world that I would love to visit one day.

Best of luck in the contest.

Your form is not as easy as it reads. You created a wonderful poem, followed the rules, and made a story inside with strong imagery.
Well done.

Well welcome to your natural home, in the outback of the world! Home is where the heart is at and this poem expresses this in all its natural glory as you take in your surroundings. Nice flow and rhyme here also, this was written as if telling a tale or observing the place you are at, which submerses the reader quickly and smmothly. Just one thing first liine, third stanza: "days ,and" the comma needs moving. A few commas need brushing up through out as well but it doesn't hinder the flow.

Beautifully descriptive poetry makes me wish I was out hiking in the redwoods today. I have a couple photos similar to this that I shot looking up. After your lovely poem, whenever I look at them or stand in a grouping of trees like this while on a hike, I will feel I am in a great cathedral. Perfect imagery. Thanks for posting.

This was a beautifully constructed Terza Rima, both in its composition and content. How lovely, a cathedral of trees. That's a very interesting and unique way of looking at this beautiful phenomenon that occurs quite frequently in your larger forest regions.

Wonderfully done, in impeccable rhyme, meter and tempo.

Best of luck to you! :}

This is very beautifully written and is alive with imagery. You descriptions were very good.
The ending was nice. "Yes, you're home at last."
